"They were super communicative and willing to work with us as we are out-of-town owners. Jesse was very knowledgeable about are various trees and their points in the life cycle. He listened carefully to what we wanted right now as well as our future plans and made suggestions to help with that plan. When it was time for the job, we always received a notification from Danielle letting us know when Jesse was on his way or if there was any delay, etc. As I said, spectacular communication! Since we were out-of-town, Jesse sent plenty of before and after photos and even offered a video walk around, but I could see that he did exactly what we had discussed and even got a little more that we thought we'd be able to get on the Lakeshore side. I can not say enough good things about our experience with Roman Empire Tree. We will definitely be using them for all future work on our property and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for land clearing or even basic tree removal service!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Planting a palm tree close to your home can provide shade while elevating the beauty of your yard. However, there are a few safety concerns to consider before doing so. You’ll want to opt for a smaller tree with a non-invasive root system. Select a species that won’t grow too tall and choose a planting location that won’t damage your home.
